New research led by Dr. Lance Craighead, one of the world's top grizzly bear authorities, is calling for the creation of a massive wildlife corridor on the east slope of the Rockies. The proposal would link up parks, designated wilderness areas and special management zones to ensure that key predators don't get trapped in isolated pockets in an area 1,000 kilometres long and 200 kilometres wide. On its eastern edge are Jasper and Banff National Parks.
